In the past some exhibitors in Cottage Country and Mariner’s Marketplace parked under the Gardiner Expressway and hand carried or used their own small carts to move out quickly on Sunday right after the show closing.

As you probably know by now, the area under the Gardiner Expressway is under construction and parking is prohibited on Manitoba Drive.  

During the show an alternative location for exhibitor parking has been defined. We have been working with the Enercare Centre to find a solution for the exhibitors who are looking for a fast hand-carry move out on Sunday.

If you are an exhibitor who is able to hand-carry or use your own cart, we have a very good option to assist you with moving out quickly.

We will provide a special Orange Window Card for Parking LOT 853 North (outside of Heritage Court Entrance doors) – see map below. 

If you are interested in this Hand Carry Move Out option, please contact Katya Sundukova cell 705-927-3619 katya@canadianboatshows.com by Saturday morning, and permission will be granted on request and approval basis.

Please take note of the following steps:

• Sign up the type of vehicle with Katya and obtain an Orange Window Card
• Park your vehicle at Lot 853 (north side) starting from 8AM onwards on Sunday
• Clearly Display the Orange Window Card and the Green P Parking pass for show hours (day pass or 10 day exhibitor pass)
• There will be a parking attendant provided by Enercare centre

on 853 North Parking lot

At Move Out you will be directed by our floor managers to the Heritage Court Entrance.

For the first hour you may hand carry/use own carts and exit through roll up door #40.

After 6 pm you can exit out through the glass doors at the Heritage Court Entrance.

Please note that there will not be a ‘drive to the door’

option at the Heritage Court Entrance. 

The exhibitors in Mariner’s Marketplace and Cottage Country, requiring DRIVE IN to their booths or bringing the vehicles to loading doors 33, 29,28 will be helped by floor managers with directions. 

Sunday from 10AM-10PM, Manitoba Drive will be closed to prepare for show move-out. 

The flow of traffic will be restricted to eastbound only and directed by the floor managers. 

Cottage Country and Mariner’s Marketplace

buildings must be completely vacated by Monday at 6PM.

STAIRCASES & EMERGENCY EXITS

MUST STAY CLEAR

There are several draped-off staircases in Cottage Country and Mariner’s Marketplace which are used by the Enercare Centre staff and security on a daily basis. These staircases are also Emergency Exits and therefore cannot be blocked.

There have been reports that at least two staircases in Cottage Country are being used by exhibitors for storing empty boxes and cases. Please clear the staircases and avoid using them for storage.

Reminder, all boxes and packing containers should be clearly marked with the Exhibitors company and booth number.

If you need assistance or have any questions

contact the Show Office in Salon 103.

MOVE-OUT COORDINATION UNDERWAY

If you have submitted a Boat Handling Request Form, you will receive a move-out notice today.

To assist with a smooth process, we ask that all exhibitors review Move-out Guidelines.

Health & Safety Regulations are the same during move-out as they were during move-in.

With hundreds of people and vehicles vacating the building at the same time, Sunday will be extremely busy. We kindly ask you to remain patient and assist with the process of a safe move-out.

Please Direct any Questions to

Move-out Coordinator

Shawn McConnell | 416-574-9826 

PARKING DURING MOVE-OUT

Exhibitor Parking for move-out, Sunday after 5pm, Monday and Tuesday is FREE.

We all want a smooth, efficient move-out, and illegally parked vehicles will impede the flow, causing move-out delays and frustration for everyone.

UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLES WILL BE TOWED:

A reminder that unauthorized vehicles on Manitoba Drive and in the east and west loading docks will be tagged and possibly towed.

Click here for an enlarged view of the Move In-Out Map.

During move-out, large bins will be placed around the halls for disposal. Please use them to keep the floor safe. 

We encourage exhibitors to remove their own shrink-wrap, skids, and leftover wood from the Enercare Centre.

The show is charged for garbage removal from the floor, and your efforts during move-out can help keep space costs down.

The Toronto Boat Show has installed two water fill stations for both exhibitors and attendees.

They are located in:

• Hall D across from Coywolf Aviation (Booth 1303)
• Hallway between Heritage Court and Mariner's Marketplace.

Please remember to stay hydrated during the show!

Water stations are marked in RED in the map below
